ABSTRACT

Populism of the twenty-first century, the paper argues, emerges from the aloofness of liberal democracy’s sober regimes of rationality. This results in political movements that are explicitly affective in their strategies, both on the right and the left of the political spectrum. However, while policy research claims that left- and right-wing populism ‘look alike’ (isomorphia), the paper shows that there is only one populist logic that exceeds demarcations of ‘left’ or ‘right’. Therefore, it introduces the concept of the populist moment to describe the structure of the populist logic that is shared by a variety of protest movements. As a feminist intervention in the field of populism studies, the paper, finally, discusses how Mouffe’s political theory conflates ‘left populism’ and radical democracy. In reference to Ranciére’s and Lorey’s conceptualizations of radical democracy the paper portrays how to democratize democracy beyond Mouffe’s hegemony theory.

摘要

这篇论文认为，21 世纪的民粹主义源于自由民主理性理性制度的冷漠。这导致政治运动在其战略中具有明显的情感，无论是在政治光谱的右翼还是左翼。然而，虽然政策研究声称左翼和右翼民粹主义“看起来很相似”（同构)，论文表明只有一种民粹主义逻辑超出了“左”或“右”的界限。因此，它引入了民粹主义时刻的概念来描述各种抗议运动所共有的民粹主义逻辑结构。作为对民粹主义研究领域的女权主义干预，本文最后讨论了墨菲的政治理论如何将“左翼民粹主义”和激进民主混为一谈。参考 Ranciére 和 Lorey 的激进民主概念，本文描绘了如何在 Mouffe 的霸权理论之外使民主民主化。
